A federal court has ruled that federal restrictions on #marijuana users possessing #firearms are #unconstitutional, stating that a law from 1968 should not be applied so broadly. The case involved a man sentenced to #prison for possessing firearms and marijuana, despite no evidence of him being under the influence of #cannabis at the time. NORML's Legal Committee supported the finding, and similar decisions have been made in #Oklahoma and #Texas, prompting calls for either the #SupremeCourt or #Congress to establish this as the law of the land. #weedstr #gunstr
